Thanks for the data PB. A couple of things stand out to me there. The Catholics killed 1,900 so did far more killing than the rest, who killed 1,300. I wonder what the definition of 'civilian' was. The definition is obviously faulty, as there were 16 people killed by 'civilians', of whom 13 were classified as 'civilian'. A civilian killing somebody is obviously not a civilian. They are an enemy combatant. So the definition of civilians is faulty. Then, we see that the Loyalists killed 818 'civilians'. I wonder if these 'civilians' were the same type of 'civilians' who killed 16 other people, including 13 'civilians'. I suspect that the 818 included a lot of combatants who were not really civilians. Just as the Palestinians claimed many 'civilians' were killed, who just happened to be carrying guns at the time of their death. I can understand that the parent of an Omagh child would be inclined to do the same back. Tit for Tat does seem to be a successful negotiating method. Since the Catholics did the majority of the killing, it's obvious that more people feel victimized on the other side. Mqurice
